It’s time to talk about my health.
Documenting the Fight Against Complex Illness: Lyme, Mold, and Cognitive Fog
Readers gain insight into navigating debilitating, multi-system chronic illness diagnoses (like Lyme and severe mold toxicity) and learn how to maintain professional capacity while fighting for biological recovery.
Short Summary
- Navigating simultaneous diagnoses (Lyme, SIBO, multiple parasites) required intense, long-term detoxification and advanced therapies.
- The severity level made previous coping mechanisms, like sheer hard work, actively detrimental to recovery.
- The experience reveals the hidden reality behind chronic illness: high functioning does not correlate with internal biological stability.
This document details the cascade of afflictions the speaker experienced after achieving significant professional growth. It covers the rigorous medical interventions deployed to combat systemic inflammation, the profound cognitive setbacks endured, and the mental fortitude required to manage fluctuating, uncertain prognoses. It serves as a critical case study on surviving multi-system dysregulation limbo.

As a retired MD Chris , here’s my advice. Stay as far away from hospitals or health care as you can. They’re a business first, never forget that. Then think about the #1 killer of humans. Stress. You seem very stressed out. Be careful with that son. Cheers
Stop the podcast. Focus 100% on rest & recovery. We'll all be here waiting for you when you're better.
I finally talk about my health journey and opened up about how it’s affected me. This follows me for 18 months and tracks the hardest period of my life. Not sure what else to say. It feels strange to be this open about something I’ve dealt with privately for so long. I really hope you resonate with it 💜
We love you, brother! You'll get through this, stay strong!!!!! Thank you for everything you put out into the world 🙏👊
imagine dealing with all these problems but not having the money to address them.
It's so true what they say "A healthy person has a thousand dreams, but a sick person only has one." 😢
I cannot believe the content you’ve pumped out during this period. Insane. My respect, Sir.
That MW question comes to mind: “If your life were a movie, what would the audience be shouting at the screen?” I think so many of us would be saying, “You’ve already done more than enough, Chris. We’re so grateful for you. Take the time out you need to rest. We’ll be here when you get back.” ❤️
I lost an eye to cancer, I have multiple sclerosis, IBS, Chronic tinnitus, Ménière’s disease, Eczema, Acne and I’m only 37, like you I had dreams, and I got hit in every way possible exactly where it destroyed my dreams. However, I decided one day that I will have a new dream every time one shatters. I’m a humble guy, not worth much, not famous or anything, but I would love to tell my story on your show. Now that’s a new dream I like
Many have said it - take a break from work and from all of these medical protocols - take a break from anyone who is profitting from your illness. Spend a month somewhere sunny, swim in the sea, or walk in the woods, - surround yourself with people who loved you before your fame. Find joy in small comfortable moments. What started as disease may now be mimicked by stress and grief (grief for the loss of who you were and the health that you had). Take a break - the world will be here when you have healed.
